I know people don't like Ellie because it's popular, but I love it. I love Ellie Shay. Your other girl names are cute too.

For boys I like all 3, but I think Liam Shay is my fav.

They are all perfectly fine names, just NMS. I would probably choose Audrianna (much prefer Adriana) and Ethan.

The only one I don't like at all (hate with a passion, actually) is Ellie.

Audrianna Marie and Ethan Shay

This.

The only one I don't like at all (hate with a passion, actually) is Ellie. And no, not just because of the popularity. I have always hated it. My name is Ellen.

Audrianna Marie and Ethan Shay

Pretty much exactly this. But I don't despise Ellie.

I like Alana (that spelling), Audrina, and Adriana (that spelling). Audrina is a guilty pleasure favorite of mine that DH nixed because of The Hills.

I like all your boy names, but dislike the popularity of Ethan and Liam so would probably choose Grant

Not a fan of your girl names at all, they just aren't my style... not into the whole "anna" ending thing or names that sound stereotypically "Italian" so-to-speak.  I like Alaina, but not Alonna which is how I would pronounce what you have based on your spelling.  Your boy names are nice, Ethan is extremely popular where I am so I wouldn't use it, but I do like Grant and Liam.

Not a fan of the girl names but I vote Audrina Marie.

I love both Liam and Grant but IMO Liam Shay sounds best.

i love the girls minus ellie. it's a nickname to me only. i love ethan most and liam second. not into grant at all. i think alanna shay is gorgeous and sounds the best.

I'm not trying to put the kibosh on it, but in all honesty when I read Liam Shay, I kept hearing Lamp Shade.

Bah I never thought that! Well That one is my fav but DH doesn't like it. I keep it on the list for myself but I know it will never get used

Thanks for the other spelling suggestions. I really like them better than the way I spelled them.

We are going to let IL's choose between the two middle names if it is a girl

PLEASE don't name your LO Ellie or Liam. They are so popular! I used to teach, and it was super hard for the kids with popular names. We always had to call them by their last name initial or the other kids gave them a NN. Just... please don't.
